So who's going? Spectating/Competing?

They need officials btw and anyone who can lend a hand. If your able to do so just ask one of the officials/drivers on the day I'm sure they will point you in the right direction as I don't have anyones contact details for you.

i was coming in too fast at some points ... so bit of understeer..

eg: hairpin once, i did c-red faster (part of gaining experience i guess), so the hairpin came sooner.

i went good in practice session (except for last lap of it -- lost the rear end in the esses and went through the infield).

qualifying, went good :D

div-B 'top16' battle ... f**ked it up epicly... never spun so much. ever !

rims are all good :)

had the best day! hopefully showed a few people that R33's can drift (even with a newbie at the wheel lol)

was stoked to win my 1st ever battle, but expression sessions where highlight of the day.

Congrats to Tarq on 2nd place outright, this is a huge achievement for anyone but to do it in a 300hp R32 is just epic! boy got skillz :D

huge thanks to Trav, Dean and Nick for supplying and fitting my new axle, you saved my ass.

and thanks Tarq and the VR family, without VR Auto my car wouldnt have been drifting.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
